What is Legacy?

“It’s planting seeds in a garden you will never get to see. I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me.”

-Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton

Why Planned Giving?

Planned gifts are often a donor’s largest, most significant gift and a valuable funding source for building an endowment.

  • Bequests or beneficiary designations provide the ultimate flexibility for a donor’s charitable gift plan, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.

  • Planned Giving goes well beyond that future gift. Once your donors decide to give, gift planning provides your donors with optimal solutions for charitable gifting.

  • Gift planning often involves noncash assets providing the most significant vehicle for maximizing fundraising dollars today….and tomorrow.

  • The higher purpose for setting up a planned giving program? By building an endowment, you are creating permanent funding for your charity’s mission and allowing your donors to establish a lasting legacy.
